Apples and oranges. Steam Deck doesn't need to sell x million devices to get enough games. It ain't dependant on its own eco system like Vita or WiiU. It is part of a bigger eco system with thousands of compatible PC games.

Of course it is more portable than a laptop.
| victor83fernandes said: PC games are quite big usually, its not like on the switch where most games are under 20gb, so space might be an issue. |
There are big PC games, medium sized PC games and small PC games.
There are big Switch games, medium sized Switch games and small Switch games.
Less than 150 of my Steam games are bigger than 20 GB, ~200 of my Steam games are 10 - 20 GB, ~380 of my Steam games are 5 - 10 GB and OVER 3000 of my Steam games are under 5 GB.
I looked up some games I have for both devices:
- L. A. Noire on my Switch: 13.1 GB; in my Steam library: 13.9 GB
- Saints Row 4 on my Switch: 8.5 GB; in my Steam library: 9.9 GB
- Perception on my Switch: 7.1 GB; in my Steam library: 6.3 GB
- Silence on my Switch: 6.9 GB; in my Steam library: 7.0 GB
- Hollow Knight on my Switch: 5.2 GB; in my Steam library: 7.4 GB
- Snake Pass on my Switch: 4.2 GB; in my Steam library: 3.4 GB
- Burnout Paradise on my Switch: 3.9 GB; in my Steam library: 3.2 GB
- Apocalipsis on my Switch: 3.7 GB; in my Steam library: 3.6 GB
- Bear with Me: The Lost Robots on my Switch: 3.2 GB; in my Steam library: 4.2 GB
- The Wardrobe on my Switch: 3.0 GB; in my Steam library: 3.2 GB
- Flipping Death on my Switch: 2.8 GB; in my Steam library: 2.9 GB
- The Little Acre on my Switch: 2.7 GB; in my Steam library: 2.5 GB
- Syberia 1 + 2 on my Switch: 2.7 GB; in my Steam library: 2.5 GB
- The Darkside Detective on my Switch: 1.5 GB; in my Steam library: 1.1 GB
- The Inner World on my Switch: 1.3 GB; in my Steam library: 1.3 GB
- Thimbleweed Park on my Switch: 1.3 GB; in my Steam library: 1.0 GB
- Murder by Number on my Switch: 1.1 GB; in my Steam library: 0.9 GB
- My Brother Rabbit on my Switch: 1.0 GB; in my Steam library: 0.8 GB
- AER: Memories of Old on my Switch: 1.1 GB; in my Steam library: 1.2 GB
- The Way on my Switch: 1.0 GB; in my Steam library: 0.4 GB
- Degrees of Separation on my Switch: 0.8 GB; in my Steam library: 0.4 GB
- Beat Cop on my Switch: 0.6 GB; in my Steam library: 0.3 GB
Of course there are some PC games, which are a lot bigger than the Switch version... but that's due to higher quality assets (f.e. textures) and that will show in Switch / Steam Deck comparisons.
And a few size comparisons for the lols:
- Final Fantasy XV on my Switch: 5.3 GB; in my Steam library: 152 GB
- GTA Vice City on Switch: 13.1 GB; in my Steam library: 1.5 GB

There are hundreds of genres for PC... why not play any other genre on the train or bus, if you don't want to play a shooter? And IF you want to play a shooter with a handheld, it will probably be much more comfortable to play on the Steam Deck than on a Switch with JoyCons.
